chance to read and discover the work of a diverse group of very
talented authors.

jewelry, and characters such as lustful vampires, hot warlocks, a
grumpy leprechaun, a ghostly terrier, a zombie apocalypse and things
that go bump in the night.
From soft and tender love to hot passionate, kinky sex,
there is something for everyone in this anthology.

appearance and trust him to break down her walls and teach her to feel?

Dream Catcher – Callie Carmen
Long ago, a medicine man had made a matched set of dream catchers as a
wedding gift to protect the Chief’s daughter and her warrior

soul mates safe and in a loving, healthy marriage. It was foretold
that if the two dream catchers were ever divided the new owners would
be drawn together as soul mates. Was that possible?
Life Saving – Anne Krist
Saving lives isn’t just for adults. Sometimes the innocent magic of a child
can do the job better.

there’s a mischievous little entity milling about, and she wants to play.

“I’m allowed to make love to my wife one last time before I have to cross
over. So, are you ready for your husband? Are you ready for me,
Ingrid?” He lifted my chin up and ran his thumb along my lips. I
felt a chill go down my spine. How could this be real? How could this
be happening?
Love Knows No Apocalypse – Patricia Elliott
